Dave Chappelle SLAMMED For Celebrating Charlie Kirk's Assassination

Yeah, Dave Chappelle has crossed the line. You don't come back from. That's just it. I don't care. And I see these liberals and like, it's just jokes. I thought comedians are allowed to joke. Yeah, there are lines. There are lines. And for those that missed this, Dave Chappelle said that ever since Charlie Kirk was murdered, he's felt good. He's happy that it happened. He's been quoted as saying, because we have just a short clip of the, it's not even a joke. It's no punchline. And there may be a greater context to it, but I don't care either way. I just don't. I literally don't care. There's another quote that someone said that Dave Chappelle then went on to say that he can't help but being happy that Charlie was killed. It's involuntary. And so this was last night at Madison Square Garden. Someone filmed a clip of the show. And I don't know how they do it normally. Like, you're not supposed to be filming during the show. But of course, the clip got out. And I don't care. I don't care about the left thinks. I don't care about apologies. Dave Chappelle, crossed the line. You don't come back from. Thank you, and have a nice day. That's it. I'm over it. So, you know, there were jokes that we made. Dave Chappelle made fun of Chinese people, Asian people. He did the Asian squint face where he did that. And I said, yeah, I don't care. Make jokes. Make jokes about people. That's fine. Saying that you like and that it's funny that you're happy that Charlie Kirk died is over the line for several reasons. The first functional reason is that Someone out there feeling angered by this is going to kill somebody and they're being told by Dave Chappelle and a uproarious laughing audience that it's okay and people will will feel good. That's a problem. We cannot have this. Second, of course, is more personal, but let me I got this article that just went up Awards Daily. This is one of the only articles grabbing it so far, but let me show you the actual clip here and we'll discuss it. I feel fucked up saying this. It's scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn't say this publicly, but I feel better. I know I shouldn't say that, but it's just a feeling. Thank you. I didn't ask to do this, but I just be driving around like, why am I in such a good mood all of a sudden? I feel fucked up saying this. Yeah, it's a line you don't come back from. I mean. I'm sure there's a possibility of some other context to this because there's only 40 seconds. And one of the context, I was thinking, what could the joke be? And the joke could be something like, I feel better because many people pushed back on, there were people on my side that said, no, it's not okay. And maybe that's the bigger joke. It is. Now, I don't know. All I know is that saying you feel better after Charlie Kirk, my friend, was murdered is something you don't come back from. I literally do not care what the left thinks, what you guys think. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. What I'm saying is you do not say to the world that you are happy for any reason when my friend is shot in the neck and killed. I don't care. I don't care. This to me is not some guy in a faraway land, a faraway. I'm going to try from not swearing. It's not some report about an influencer somewhere. No, this is about my friend who was killed. And I wake up to see Dave Chappelle thinking he's going to make a fun joke about it. Don't care. I don't care. Listen, the liberals are coming up and I thought comedians are allowed to do that. Shut up. Don't care. Literally don't. You know, you want to come out and you want to make a joke about Chinese people and the left doesn't care that Dave Chappelle is allowed to do it. They got mad at him when he made jokes about trans people, by the way, but they didn't care when he made jokes about Chinese people. Let's take a look. Let's take a look. Bryan Cranston says Republicans are melting down over this. I'm not a Republican. I don't like Republicans. And I'm melting down, absolutely, because Charlie was my friend and he was murdered. And then I see Dave Chappelle go up on stage and say he feels better because he was murdered. No, no, no, I get it. I'm not stupid. I understand that there's other contexts outside. I don't know exactly where he went with this. He could have, the joke could be not because he got murdered, because the reaction. Perhaps that could be the case. It is. Now, to be fair, should that context come out, I'll turn it down a little bit. But right now, the only thing that matters is that Dave Chappelle got up on stage in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden telling people that he felt good that my friend was shot in the neck and killed. And that's it. So I thought that comedians were able to say whatever they wanted since they were comedians. That's what you told me when Roseanne Barr and Tony Hinchcliffe said racist crap. Yeah, so did Dave Chappelle. And I defended that too. Roseanne Barr referred to, was it an Obama staffer? I think it was as a Planet of the Apes person or something like that. And they said that's racist because she was like part black, part Iranian. Tony Hinchcliffe said that Puerto Rico is a garbage island because Puerto Rico has a dump, a garbage dump problem. And he was like, am I the only one who knew that? Like he wasn't calling Puerto Ricans garbage. He's like, they have a landfill problem. That was the joke. A floating sea of trash, like a floating. I defended all of it. I defended Dave Chappelle when he made fun of trans people. Yeah, indeed. When he made fun of Asians. Yeah, that's right, because those are not over the line. Those are just edgy humor. But this, it's Sunday morning, and I wake up, and I'm spending time with the family, and I, of course, I'm always reading the news, and I see this. Now, Dave Chappelle, I just, you don't do it. Well, let's see what the replies are, because I have a feeling that Brian's going to be getting a mouthful of it. That's not racist. That's just evil to say. And then Krasinski says kind of like this. Robert Mueller just died good, and I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people. And I said that was fucked up too. You see, I ******* hate all of you. You know what I mean? I said a while ago, I was like, I'm done being angry. I'm done being angry. I condemned Donald Trump when he said that. That is a fucked up thing to say. That's it. I don't want to live with any of these people. Any of them. So people, you know, look, here's my concern with the Republicans losing in the midterms that Democrats are doing this. You think Donald Trump is bad because he celebrated Robert Mueller's death? Sure. Well, the left is all of that. Every single person just like that. They say, but you voted for Donald Trump. Indeed, because there's 10 million of you murderous, psychopathic lunatics. And there's a Donald Trump. What else do we have? So racist stuff, OK, stuff about death of a white dude, not OK. Yes. Thank you and have a nice day. Here we go. Let's see. Brian Cranston, Republicans, I can't believe that Dave Chappelle said this about Charlie Kirk's death. He must really be a horrible person and canceled. Also Republicans. Yep. Good thing I'm not a Republican. Good thing I've always been moderate. Good thing I condemned Donald Trump when he said that all the same. You sniveling, evil piece of trash. These are evil people. You see, when Donald Trump posted Robert Mueller just died, I said, that's messed up. That's effed up. That's disgusting. Oh my God. We went on TimCast IRL, and I said, that's messed up, dude. I don't care. I don't celebrate death. I don't. But Brian, you're a scumbag, and you are just the same as all these other pieces of trash. It's all the same. Why would I or anyone else want to be involved in whatever this is? Matt Walsh says. There's no joke here or punchline. Chappelle hasn't told a joke with a punchline in like 20 years. Now he just wanders around the stage trying to be some kind of midwit philosopher, delivering a bunch of safe, edgy opinions in a self-congratulatory way, like a late-stage George Carlin. A totally insufferable, unfunny hack, wildly overrated for his whole career. Chappelle's show does not hold up at all. He came up with the two funny sketches, and that's it. He immediately treated him like Jesus back in the day. Because there's a black comedian making jokes about white people. If you go back and watch some of that stuff now, you'll be shocked by how much it sucks. I completely disagree. When he had Rick James, and he was telling the story about Rick James putting, you know, his boots on the couch. I'm Rick James. Like, sorry, that's good. It was absolutely fantastic storytelling. When Dave Chappelle did the joke about being a black man in an airplane, that's what he references all the time, and they tell him that they have fish and chicken, and he's like, I'll have the fish. And then the stereotypical black, I don't know, little guy appears in the chair, and he starts saying a bunch of racist things to him, like, get the chicken! And then one of them's like, I'm sorry, we're out of the fish. And he's like, how is the chicken prepared? And she's like, it's fried. And then the little fake black guy just goes, yeah, I'm sorry, Dave Chappelle nailed it. It was always good stuff, but I'm sorry. I literally, you've crossed the line. And look, who am I? I don't care. You can do your comedy specials. I'm never going to defend you again. There's no apology that matters to me at this point. This is not a world that, I want to make sure it's clear to everybody. This is not a moral issue. This is not an issue of principle. This is not an issue of who deserves what and who's allowed to do what. This is not a question of, but Dave Chappelle can joke about this, but not this. Literally don't care. Charlie Kirk was my friend. You go up on stage and say you feel good about him dying. That's enough for me. I'm never going to hang out with you again. I don't, I'm not saying I ever hung out with Dave Chappelle. I'm saying if I'm at a club, if I'm at a friend's house. Let's say my friend John was hit by a car and died. And then I go to someone's house and they're like, man, I sure feel good about that guy dying. I'd be like, get the **** out of my house. Or if I was at their house, I'd be like, see you later. You'll never see me again. There's no apology. I'm not coming back. I don't care. I am 40 years old, halfway there, boys, and I don't have time and I'm not interested in whatever this is. You want to go up on stage and you want to make jokes about people being murdered in cold blood, assassinated for what they believe? I ain't playing those games. I'm playing those games. People made fun of George Floyd. They mocked his death. I never celebrate death. That's it. Now, you want to talk about why George Floyd died? Dave Chappelle, when you cried, I mean, figuratively, when you said, oh, I can't believe it. I'm not happy that George Floyd died. Never have been. Never have been. And I said it over and over again. I wish it didn't happen. But there's something you got to understand, okay? When you try using counterfeit money, when you're behind the wheel of the car chewing on what's called a speedball, meth and fentanyl combined, okay, the police are going to try and stop you. This is going to have a deleterious effect on your health. When those cops pull you out, you scream, I can't breathe, put me on the ground, right? You resisting arrest, you're creating these circumstances that you started, you created. I'm sad that George Floyd died. I genuinely am. I don't want anybody to die. In fact, you can think about the greater ramifications of this country and the death of George Floyd was a lamentable thing in every capacity. First, the most important is the human element. He should not have died. Second is the political ramifications of this death were insane. I don't want anybody to die. I oppose the death penalty. I have not even spoken out against Gavin Newsom when he let all those people off death row. He's commuting their sentences to life in prison. A lot of those people are really bad people. But you know what? I'm middle of the road on it because I don't like the death penalty. I don't. And I also don't like the idea that we got to pay for someone's life and they're violent murderers and all of these things. And I don't like the state deciding who gets to die. So I don't celebrate death. Not for John McCain. Not even for John McCain, okay? And there are a lot of people who did, and that is a nasty world to live in. I ain't going to do it. I ain't going to celebrate the death of anybody. So I'm not interested. You can literally say whatever you want. Now, we've got this. This is massive. And I'd like to see... All right. Let me put it like this. Dave Chappelle should apologize, 100%. Making up racist jokes against any race, I shrug at. It's comedy, okay? But my, my, my, my, my statement that Dave Chappelle needs to apologize has nothing to do with your politics. It has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with these people. It has only to do with a man went up on stage and he made a joke about my friend being murdered. Don't care. That's it. He doesn't got to apologize to me. I don't know. I don't know the guy, but as far as I'm concerned, he crossed the line. He hasn't come back from now. Who am I? I don't care what anybody thinks. I don't care. The left's going to say, they're going to say it's hypocritical when you go shut up. Don't care. Literally don't. I'm not going to come to you and gloat over your friend dying. I'm not going to make a joke about your friend dying. I'm not going to, I'm not going to mock you for your parents dying or your kid getting hit by a car. None of that stuff's never going to happen. Not coming out of my mouth. I'm not playing this game. That's just it. Take a look at this. Jennifer Welch. This, this, this stuff for me is excruciatingly painful. The day Charlie died, I got a call. The moment he got shot, I get a phone call. I think, I think many people probably understand. And I always, I always try to preface this. I always describe it like this. Charlie and I were not bar buddies. We didn't go golfing on Saturday, okay? I texted him sometimes, but he was my friend. And I don't, you know, a lot of people assume that this means like, you know, I call him up on Saturday, like, hey, let's go to the movies. No, no, no, nothing like that. I put it like this. Charlie and I spoke periodically. He had me at his events quite a bit. I had him on my show. We would text periodically. If I were to say something like he was a business associate, I think Charlie would be hurt by that. I want to make sure the extent of how well I knew Charlie is well known, that we didn't talk all that often. But again, if I went out like, oh, no, no, I'm not friends with that guy, he'd be like, what? Why would you say that to him? That's like a dick thing to say, you know what I mean? And so I'm trying to be sensitive to the idea because I don't want to say that we weren't friends. We talked periodically, but I don't want people to think that we were best buds who hung out or anything like that. But it hurts. It was an extremely painful day. It was an extremely terrifying day, and it's not just about, you know, me being friends with Charlie, but that all of the mutual friends that Charlie and I had, and that our teams worked together. Look, we were on stage at AmFest every year, starting with the second year, and that's it. It's over. It is extremely, extremely painful to think about that day and everything that I and everyone went through. So I don't care. You can come to me and you can say, uh, you're not entitled to this outrage because of the jokes made by other people. Shut up. Um, again, this is not a moral question for me. This is not a question of principles. Charlie was my friend. Okay. You want to say that you feel good about him dying? I'm going to, I'm going to refrain from saying what needs to be said from, and a lot of people are going to come out and say it. I'm not going to say it. What I will say is the most important thing that Dave needs to recognize when he says this is that there are people out there Who feel as though a hand is squeezing on their heart when he does things like this. And Charlie was beloved by a lot of people. And tensions are getting very, very, very hot. So when Dave Chappelle comes out and says that he feels good about this after you have this, my concern is for your safety, Dave Chappelle. You have created the circumstances by which someone would now argue they would feel good if it happened to you. Right. I mean, you feel good. Wouldn't someone else? And therein lies the Radio Rwanda problem. Nobody should die. Nobody should be violent. No one should be attacking anybody. And that's why it is extremely, extremely dangerous for Dave Chappelle to come out and make that joke, whatever the joke is supposed to be. He's driving around. He's just feeling real good about it because someone's going to come out and they're going to say the same thing about you. They're going to say they would feel real good if it happened to you. And I don't want that to This clip went viral. We talked about it on TimCast IRL, but there's major updates. Cash App and Chewy have just dumped Jennifer Walsh's podcast because they pulled up this. Dead Morose says, we're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again. I'm zooming into the Fox. It works. So Cash App says, we do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast. Chewy says we do not sponsor or support I've had it podcast. We unequivocally condemn violence in all its forms. The comments made by the host do not reflect Chewy's values or what we stand for as a company. It's incredible, isn't it? Andrew Colvett says, woke up to find two more brands have cut ties with Jennifer Welch, Dupe app and Ember Tech Dupe says, many of you have asked about Dupe's sponsor, but this podcast, if you've seen this clip, the remarks are vile and show a serious lack of judgment We unequivocally condemn them. Dupe sponsors shows across the political spectrum. Basic decency matters regardless of politics, and we will no longer sponsor this podcast. I love all these companies. I love them all. Bro, you can fly a pride flag over your house. I don't care. You can be a card-carrying communist, DSA, whatever it is. You say no one should kill anybody, political violence is wrong and I'm going to say, let's hang out You know, because I get people who get mad at me and I'm going to tell you this. It's funny I tweeted, Nick Fuentes is the future of the GOP, and everyone's losing their minds. It's wild I'm getting texts, like, getting interview requests like, what do you mean, Tim? Like, how could Nick? Bro, homeboy's got... Eighty-five thousand concurrence censored on every platform What do you think the dude would be getting if he wasn't censored on every platform? And Nick Fuentes is right about a lot of things. He's wrong about a lot of things, too. The issue is, however, young men are moving in this direction. And I mentioned, like, I've hung out with Nick I've enjoyed his company We hung out in Chicago with a handful of people and it was a great time Everybody was laughing. We were talking politics. It was, like, that's it, okay? And I'm like, he said things, and I told him he was wrong Yeah, he says things about race, and I'm like, yeah, no, I completely disagree. That's wrong But I don't live in this world where I live in the Daryl Davis world, okay? He went and befriended Klansmen, and I probably couldn't even do that But people say, like, how could you have gone and hung out with Nick Fuentes? He's an anti-Semite, blah, blah, blah I'm like, I hung out with George Santos I hang out with George all the time. And people are like, he's a crook. He sure is. I hang out with Brian Shapiro, who is considered to be one of the most vitriolic people. Actually, Brian and I text all the time about poker. We have like a poker chat with some other people. And I always tell him, like, you got to just don't be so nasty. Don't be so mean. You know what I mean? I'm friends with people across the political spectrum. You know what I'm saying? I know that not everybody sees the world the way I see it. And there's nothing I can do about it. I can only try to argue what I think is correct. And I'm wrong about a handful of things, quite a bit. Amber says, the recent comments made on the I've Had a Podcast do not reflect our values or what we stand for as a company. As such, we have discontinued our advertising relationship with that podcast. Okay. So I like these companies, Amber and Dupe. Nobody should be saying these things and Dave Chappelle should not have said what he said. That's end of story. End of story. He should not have said it. Now, the thing is, this is going to be interesting. Dave Chappelle is like the biggest personality. He's like the biggest comedian. The question is, hey man, there's money So this is the problem with what Dave did. For the I've Had It podcast, you get sort of a consensus, you shouldn't do this. Who is Jennifer Welch, really? I mean, do we really lose a lot of money if we say we're not going to sponsor her anymore? Well, Dave Chappelle sells out Madison Square Garden. People are going to go see him. I will say this. I'm pretty sure Dave Chappelle just slashed his market share a bit. I don't know how much, but I'm done. And I'm a middle-of-the-road guy, but for me, it's personal. So what can I really say, honestly? Rob Henderson, he was there, and he said the quote is different. There's more to it. He says, I'm so happy that Charlie Kirk was killed. I can't help it. It's involuntary. Dave Chappelle tonight at Madison Square Garden. Yeah. Melissa Chen says, honestly, what WTF did Charlie do on this earth to inspire such virulent hatred and evil from people? I cannot help but think we don't hate the other side enough. We can't live in an asymmetry like this. I'm sorry. We just can't. They will kill us with glee and dance on our graves. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to, I didn't want to do anything to Dave Chappelle. I don't want any violence. I don't want him to get hurt, but I hope Dave understands what he just did. I do. He said, it's scary being a public figure. Yeah, I know. I know. I hope he realized what he just did. Cause the first thing I thought was like, dude, the people that loved Charlie Kirk, the tens of millions of subscribers, of followers, the people that followed him, the people that loved him, that pain that you are, you are stabbing them in the heart with, I fear what they will do with that pain because you've gave them permission. You've told them that you feel good when someone you don't like dies. And my fear is that someone is going to go out and be like, you know what? I'll feel the same way with you, Dave. And I don't want that to happen. That's terrifying. And that's Dave's fault. And Dave needs to apologize for that. Because it's not just about him. It's about everybody else. He's giving permission to everybody to feel good about killing other people. I don't care what the joke is. There's a viral video where a guy says that he was happy that Charlie was killed. But it's not because Charlie was killed, it's because it made him realize just how violent evil the left was and sort of woke him up. And there may be an element to that and what Dave was trying to say, but I don't know the full context. So I reserve that. I think that's important. If he says, I feel better. And then he says, but it's not because the man was killed. It's because people started to say, hey, this has gone too far and blah, blah, blah. And then I'll be like, oh, okay. But that's not what Dave was saying, at least in that clip. So it's just, you know, I don't care. Benny's got this tweet. When Dave was attacked on stage, Charlie stood up for him. After Charlie was murdered, Chappelle says he feels good. Charlie Kirk said, by refusing to charge the armed maniac who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage, George Gaston is sending a clear message that public acts of political violence are justifiable and even encouraged against anyone who dares speak out against the regime. It's sinister and un-American. Yeah. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk. This whole thing is just sick. It's hard to be involved in whatever this is. I'll be completely honest. But I wake up and when I see Jennifer Welch and when I see Dave Chappelle saying these things, it terrifies me because it's going to get a lot worse and they want it to. I'm going to leave it there, guys. Have a good Sunday. Smash the like button and all that good stuff.
